When using for example @mako_view("index"), the template engine will not pick up index.mako.
This happens because the BaseTemplate class has a hardcoded list of extensions that its specialisations don't modify accordingly to the extension that is commonly associated with them.
I'm currently working around that issue with the following:
bottle.BaseTemplate.extensions.append("mako")
I think a better way would be for the MakoTemplate, CheetahTemplate and Jinja2Template to pass to their parent class an additional extension upon instantiation. Consequently, the stpl extension should not be kept as a default extension in BaseTemplate, but passed by the SimpleTemplate class.
